q. 4 Turn to Language
Critique of Cognitivism,
unfounded Assumptions
on Lang. & Representation:
- Talk is the Route to Cognition
-
Critic
- expressing smth happens in a Conversation where ppl have smth at stake.
- to understand meaning, look at the Social Context and what smn is trying to Achieve/Do
- Cognitions are based on Perceptions
-
Critics
world can be read unlimited number of ways.
These are constructed by lang. Focus on Discourse and Conversation where meanings are created and negotiated
- An Objective Perception of reality is theoretically possible
- There are Consensual objects of Thought
- There are Cognitive Structures that are relatively Enduring
In general
- Lang. as a Social Performance, as Productive:
- used to Construct diff. versions if Reality
- to achieve Social Objects
- vs. Lang. Assumptions:
- it provides unambiguous signs, w/w label internal states, w/w describe external reality
-
Limitations:
- Focus on Discourse and Not on ppl: "the lack of a person". - too narrow Behavioristic focus: Not concerned with Private Subjectivity, but Public discourse
- not accounts for why pursue discursive goals
- analysis limited to text: no need to look outside the text
